Just sitting in this fine automobile makes you feel like you're a
part of history. But to actually own and drive it gives you the
feeling that you've actually gone back in time. Whether it be from
the sleek, highly polished black finish, or the very classy genuine
alligator trunk bag (has a small separation) and custom leather
bonnet belt, or the powerful John Sheally built TR4a engine, the
pleasure one achieves from driving this vehicle is indescribable.
And while each of these components complements each other in such a
way as to enhance the driving experience and pleasure, the
attention it receives from those who simply stand in its presence
is awe inspiring as well. As you can see, the Equipment on this
automobile seems endless. The paint job was obviously done by
someone who took a great deal of time and pleasure and pride in his
work because it still looks almost as bright and new as the day it
was done. All the chrome and trim is in good condition as well and
the red convertible top has never been used. The manual
transmission and rear end shift as they should and the chassis and
frame are also in very good condition. A new starter was recently
installed and the engine starts with little effort and battery
cranking power. While pictures of an automobile of this high
quality may be impressive, they can't come close to the feeling one
has to see this truly classic vehicle up close and in person. But
please note, this is not a factory SS; there were only 110 of those
produced so they are very rare and much more expensive than the car
being sold here. HISTORY and COMMENTS from the PRIOR OWNER A six
year restoration was completed on this car in 1996. The car was
taken to the National Morgan meet in Malvern Pa. in 1995 as a
rolling chassis, sans all wings. It was reviewed by Mr. Peter
Morgan. His suggestion was to bring it up to SS spec. At this meet
it won Judges Choice and went on in 96 and 97 to take "Best of
Show" at the MCDC meets, and "Best of Class" at the 2003 and 2004
shows. It was also a featured car on "Car & Driver" TV. No expense
was spared during restoration. Improvements made, met the criteria
of both the MCDC & Morgan factory. In fact, Morgan would have
included these improvements, but the price would have been
prohibitive i.e.; Stainless fasteners, muffler, gas tank, etc.
While no longer a trailer queen, it is in excellent condition
(strong 2+) with less than 3M on the John Sheally built TR 4a
engine. The following new factory items were added: cuprinaled tub,
frame (color sanded) red Connelly leather interior, wiring harness,
rear springs, bulkhead, master cylinder, Lucas flamethrower and fog
lights, SS alum. bonnet, factory hood and side curtains. FRAME,
FENDER WELLS ETC. LOOK AS GOOD AS THE BODY!!! ~~Morgan automobiles
are handmade custom vehicles built at the Morgan Motor Company in
Worcestershire, England. The lightweight aluminum body, wood frame,
and finely tuned engine provides crisp handling in a design
reminiscent of the great fully fendered sports cars of the 1930's.
As the result of a conversation between the previous owner and Mr.
Peter Morgan, and after inspection, Mr. Morgan was so impressed
with the car he suggested bringing it up to SS specifications. The
previous owner then after many months of restoration and thousands
of dollars did just that. You can see by all the items added to
this car why it now has the SS flavor. The Morgan production
facility in England even supplied a new frame with the original
Morgan vehicle ID stamped into it there at the facility.
